  • Gun Law History in the United States and Second Amendment Rights
    SPITZER_PROOF (DO NOT DELETE) 4/28/2017 12:07 PM GUN LAW HISTORY IN THE UNITED STATES AND SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS ROBERT J. SPITZER* I INTRODUCTION In its important and controversial 2008 decision on the meaning of the Second Amendment, District of Columbia v. Heller,1 the Supreme Court ruled that average citizens have a constitutional right to possess handguns for personal self- protection in the home.2 Yet in establishing this right, the Court also made clear that the right was by no means unlimited, and that it was subject to an array of legal restrictions, including: “prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.”3 The Court also said that certain types of especially powerful weapons might be subject to regulation,4 along with allowing laws regarding the safe storage of firearms.5 Further, the Court referred repeatedly to gun laws that had existed earlier in American history as a justification for allowing similar contemporary laws,6 even though the court, by its own admission, did not undertake its own “exhaustive historical analysis” of past laws.7 In so ruling, the Court brought to the fore and attached legal import to the history of gun laws. This development, when added to the desire to know our own history better, underscores the value of the study of gun laws in America. In recent years, new and important research and writing has chipped away at old Copyright © 2017 by Robert J.

  • * Wicked Wadcutters
    Wonderful Wicked Wadcutters... A defensive load you may not have (but probably should have) considered. Jacketed hollowpoints consistently fail to expand at snubnose velocities when fired through gel or gel and plywood–acting almost like an FMJ (right). Additionally, there are few things in life more uncomfortable, or disconcerting to a new shooter, than the unbelievably abusive recoil generated by an Ultra-Light snubbie loaded with hot, heavy, and/or very fast, self defense ammunition. SNUB-NOSED REVOLVERS HAVE BEEN popular as carry guns for a long time. Also, those who favor big main guns can be found packing a snubbie as a backup, but the short barrels that users favor for carry bring a price: lack of velocity. That velocity loss means expanding bullets often don’t expand. If your high-tech hollow-point fails to expand, it works no better than a traditional lead round-nose. Also, the rounded nose of a jacketed hollowpoint can glance off of hard things like bone. But if you increased velocity (and chamber pressure) until you get enough to cause expansion, recoil becomes ferocious in a lightweight snubbie. So let’s go about this in a different direction. We all know shot placement matters more than expansion anyway. If a thug is about to punch your ticket, a lead round-nose through his sternum is much more favorable to your cause than an expanding bullet that only creases his stomach. Even if that bullet expands to the size of a five- gallon bucket, the poor shot placement means it is of little, or no use.
